I've done a lot of searching and tried some products but I'm still having issues/confused as to how to stream videos via a TiVo. I've tried Galleon and Plex and looked at threads here about Streambaby and TiVo Desktop, but can't seem to put together a good answer, so here goes:

I have an event here at my house in mid-November and have been asked to produce a video to show during that event. I can make the video using iMovie no big deal, but need to be able to stream it on or move it to my TiVo unit(s) so I can show it in other rooms. I have a Roamio Pro (upgraded to 4TB) and a Mini. I need a way to either "see" my MacBook from a TiVo so I can stream that video, or move that video to a TiVo to play it from there.

I suppose I should first look into how to do this via the Roamio, then graduate to the Mini if possible.

Ok, thank you. I have pyTiVo installed and running well enough that I can see my share on the TiVo unit, but no media is shown. What is the proper syntax for a path on OSX? "/macintosh_hd/video" ?? Does pyTiVo work with mp4 files?

If this is the first time you have tried connecting and download from your Tivo, you would need to enable TRANSFERS and DOWNLOADS on your tivo.com account under DVR PREFERENCES, then SAVE on the bottom, force a Tivo Service connection on all of your Tivos in your account/network.

I went ahead and did the force connect. No change. I added a photo folder and the folder appears and shows correct file names with generic photo icons, but when trying to view, the photos show as broken (generic broken photo icons).

pyTivo support (author) thinks pyTivo is having trouble seeing ffmpeg. I tried adding the path to ffmpeg to the pytivo config file, but no change. The author is asking me to send the "log". Do you know how I am to generate a log?

For the photo issue, its just the thumbnails that has the broken icons and they should open fine. To fix that broken photo icon, you would need to install the Python Image Library for your version of PyThon.
